[DandelionBouquet]

Me tooooo!!

I'm from Canada, that is!!

I recognise a few of you!!! Esther...from TP Land!!! Jodi....from the other PC board! I'm still searching for Kelly though!!

I've been doing PC since February....it's been pretty slow for me the past couple of months...I've gone through friends and family, and now I'm kind of getting cold feet???

My DH, and 2 DKs and I live near Ottawa!

Nice to "meet" you all!!

PS....Not sure I'm going to conference not really sure I can afford to go..?

Toronto - Open HouseHi there,

I just started in April. I've had 4 shows so far. I'm feeling a bit challenged with getting more bookings. I need to get over my fear of picking up the phone, calling and asking people. If they say no (which I have experienced) then they say no. Someone is bound to say yes, right?

I'll be having an Open House in Toronto. Queens Quay area on the 4th of June, which is a Saturday. It's in my boyfriends condo and I'm praying that I'll get some bookings out of that. You're welcome to come if you want. Just let me know and I'll give you directions!

Good Luck

Hi Natasha,

I am also new to this board and not yet a PC consultant but seriously considering it!!

When and where in Toronto are you having your open house?
Let me know and maybe I can attend!!

Take Care,
Heather

Just curious to know how your Open House went. Sounds as though it was in a condo. How did you advertise it? Any tips you have would be more than helpful.

Thanks.

Hi Again.

Heather. I am planning for May 15th, I still have to confirm the party room etc... but that's just a formality. I would love you to come. I am in the Yonge and Sheppard area.

I really hope I get to go to the Conference so I can meet all of you that will be there, it would be nice to put faces to names.

Good luck
Natasha

Open HouseHi Stephanie and all you newbies.

Yes, my open house was in my condo building.

I put up a flier in the mail room, and advertised it as a fundraiser.

I really did not know what to expect. I was not even sure if anyone would show up. So to cover my bases I enlisted the help of some family and friends. I asked them to come buy and just be there to fill the room so it would look like there were a lot of people interested in the event. Somehow people always seem more curious if there is a crowd. This worked too because they were there to eat all the food I prepared and I also used them to practice my presentation.

If I had to do it over again I think I would do more to advertise and maybe even do a count down a few days before to remind people to come. Also, my flier said that there would be good food, but I think I would specify that the food was free.

I had a few people come by and ask questions, and I had two people actually place oders. One lady came by because she saw the fliers my husband put up in the elevators. Aparently she did not see the flier in the mail room.

I really was not sure what to expect so I prepared for the worst. It did not go very well , but it did not go too badly either and I have a lead for a possible show, so if that pans out it will be worth it.

Please feeel free to e-mail me if you have any other questions.

Natasha

I'm from lil' ole' Prince Edward Island, Canada and have been a consultant since the end of February. I've had about 30 bookings since my first show, hit 3 kilo shows and am very pleased with my shows to date. I've earned half price conference & all the mid season products as well as ss1, ss2 & ss3. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend conference as I too am working full time and have 4 children and a husband who works out of province 5 out of 7 days a week. Hope you all have fun at conference and I can't wait to hear about it all!

Wow - lots of Winnipegers on this forum! I lived in Winnipeg for 5 years, Steinbach for 1 year, and worked in Steinbach all of those years, so am quite familiar with the area. And yes, Shara, I am familiar with Ile des Chenes, and know people that live there!

I'm in Edmonton now, signed up in May, managed to get my first 4 shows done in my first 30 days (200 PC $ - yay!!), and since then have been finding it somewhat more difficult than I anticipated to get bookings...
I did a PC table at a community carnival last Saturday, and got a September booking from it (because the lady had planned a previous party that somehow didn't work out), but other people seemed extremely hesitant to commit to a date. Even in my follow-up phone calls with people that were interested in booking for July or August, I clearly heard the message "don't call me - I'll call you when I'm ready"... what am I doing wrong here???
On the other hand, I just talked to a lady yesterday that definitely didn't want to have a party, but really wanted the Mandolin on sale, so I told her that all she needed was a $200 catalog party, and she decided to try that! Who knows... she might find that it's easier than she thought!

Overall though, it is starting to get easier, and I managed to hit the $2000 level for the June SAT, which was my goal for now!

Great to hear from all of you fellow Canadians!
